Booking Policy & FAQs

Booking Process:

Bookings are scheduled through my contact page. Once you reach out, we’ll hop on a phone call to discuss details about your session. Providing ample information in your initial email is strongly encouraged. If you need assistance with your booking, I offer 1-hour creative consultations to design and enhance your shoot experience.

Invoice & Deposit:

Your booking invoice will be sent via email after our phone call. By purchasing your session, you agree to the terms of service including model release and liability waiver. A non-refundable, 50% deposit is due upon receipt of the invoice. The remainder of the session fee is due after your session is over.

Session Fee:

Your total session fee includes your scheduled booking and post-production editing. Á la carte add-ons and additional services are available for purchase and will be added into your total session price. Add-ons are non-refundable. Additional edited images purchased after your session will be invoiced separately.

Day Rates, Events, & Video Services:

Photography Day Rates include complimentary creative consultation, studio rental, and indoor lighting equipment. Events & Video Services may require additional fees, waivers, and equipment rentals depending on venue and shoot requirements.

Travel, Logistics, & Lodging:

Travel and hotel fees must be discussed before booking confirmation will be included in the initial booking invoice. Certain add-ons must be requested one to two weeks before your session date (e.g. props, backdrops, studio rentals).

Outdoor Locations & Inclement Weather

Open public areas that don’t require permits are always the best if you’re looking for something affordable. I often use areas like parks, rooftops, museums, and gardens. Client is responsible for obtaining the necessary permits to film at locations that require them. This typically includes permits from the city or state, neighbor permissions, and possibly copyright clearances for background music. If the weather isn’t ideal on the day of your session, I’ll reach out and check whether or not we should reschedule.

Studio Rentals:

Local studios are available for your shoot and will incur a rental fee. Studios rental must be purchased at least two weeks in advance to ensure your access to the space.

Post-Production Editing & Image Delivery:

24 to 48 hours after the session, clients will receive a digital gallery to select images for editing and retouching. Turn around time for editing and retouching is five to seven business days after selections have been made. Unedited images are not available for purchase.
